    Sirius B, which is a white dwarf, can be seen as a faint point of light to the lower left of the much brighter Sirius A. A white dwarf is a stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. A white dwarf is very dense: in an Earth sized volume, it packs a mass that is comparable to the Sun.

    White dwarf: HD 49798: 0.0023 0.023 0.25 1,600 km (990 mi) 2021 White dwarfs are stellar remnants produced when a star with around 8 solar masses or less sheds its outer layers into a planetary nebula. The leftover core becomes the white dwarf. It is thought that white dwarfs cool down over quadrillions of years to produce a black dwarf. [14]

    Like other white dwarfs, it is a very dense star: its mass has been estimated to be about 67% of the Sun's, [28] yet it has only 1% of the Sun's radius (1.23 times the Earth's radius). [ 7 ] [ a ] The outer atmosphere has a temperature of approximately 6,110 K , [ 28 ] which is relatively cool for a white dwarf.
